My last entry was 5.5 weeks ago, November 28th. December really sucked for getting any flying in between weather, the plane being in annual, and everything I had to do related to Christmas etc.
Today I had the plane reserved for the morning. I got to the airport and preflighted it. My instructor came up with me for 3 touch-and-gos to make sure I hadn't forgotten which way was up, which way was down, etc.
I then just flew around for close to 3 hours having a blast just getting in a plane again and going up in the sky. I went out and practiced turns, stalls, played around with the VOR, and just being thrilled with getting to do that wonderful thing again that is flying. Normally after about 2 hours or so I'm when I'm just flying within a 25 mile radius of IPT, but today was definitely not one of those days. I would have stayed up longer had my time not been running out before someone else was to have the plane (and the amount of fuel in the tanks beginning to get a bit low).
Tomorrow I have the plane again, and I can't wait!
